Default Newbie looking for some help :)

Hi,
I am new to the world of banana plants & have jumped in by purchasing myself a Musa Florida Variegated.

So as its a 1st to me I am looking for some helpful info on caring for the plant. I am in the UK so will be kept in a pot inside.

It arrived today & is about 50cm tall in a 10.5cm pot.

So a few questions I would like help with are.

1) Which potting substrate would be best & when should I repot seeing as its new & how big should I go with the pot.

2) Is Tap water or rain water better to give to it.

3) It will be located in a room south facing so it will get plenty of sun so would I need an extra light source.

4) Best food or fertilizer

Struggling massively to upload a picture from my phone.

Anything else you can think of would also be appreciated.
